(sorry about the link :
Hi,
Ive read the tutorial from NVinstaller, for the efi srtring and didnt work, now im try to do this but without installing any kext .
I was using Nvinject 0.2.0 in 10.5.2 installs with kaly.
Also im going to try to update with AMD Soft Installer and see what happens.

Author Update #2 @Nicoleef 2008-06-21

Ok. I try EFI Strings with a fresh install of kaly 10.5.2 and it work.

But when i update to 10.5.3 no QE/CI
HELP!

EDIT: I talk with JAS and he told me that Efi String is broken in 10.5.3 with 10.5.3 kexts

Field Note #2 @milanca 2008-06-20

it's pretty strange that none of these methods worked for you. What you could try is to first backup your Gf* NV* kexts and then install them from 10.5.2 installation along with Nvinject.
Also, did gfx string you used worked for you in 10.5.2 ? Its pretty strange cause i used gfx string with default video kexts from 10.5.3, works greats (8800gts, 320mb, g90).

Field Note #3 @Puttabong 2008-06-21

Try this:

Open the Terminal and type:

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Search for this lines:

<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>6000</integer>

Change 6000 to 0, save the file with CTRL + O, exit with CTRL + X
Reboot

Field Note #4 @ZenithWar 2008-06-27

use the the NVinstaller v.52.pkg it will re-enable it. have the same card. media fire.com/?kn9jpyan1gd. Your welcome

Field Note #5 @ZenithWar 2008-06-27

remove all your Nvinjects applying to the video card and install ^ it again. should work.
